Comments from students

Name one crazy thing Dr. Gee did to try and make class fun.

"My personal favorite: wearing boxing gloves and giving everyone (who was on time) fist bumps. Made waking up early for lecture worth it. I also enjoyed his enthusiasm while explaining lesson, you could hear his passion."

"Have boxing gloves and a sweatshirt on the last day to knock out fears of the exam! I also liked the high fives on the first day with the "High Five" song.

"Make us wait in the hall while he got dressed up as a boxer, put on the song, "Sucker Punch" and fist bump us on the way in."

"Putting on boxing gloves and a hoodie to greet the class on the last day. He chased every single student down for that fist bump of good luck. Also, the exam review Kahoots! were .... a hoot."

"Play a song before class (like Cancer by MCR before the chapter on cancer). Bring in boxing gloves. The microphone cube." (MCR = My Chemical Romance and microphone cube = Catchbox)

"Gave us hypothetical medical situations and had us pretend to be doctors and diagnose the patients."

"He had boxing gloves on and gave me a fist bump with them on. :) Also, he made Patrick Star the student in his Nearpod slideshows."

"Played songs at the beginning of class and high fived us as we walked in!"

"Wore a hoodie and boxing gloves, so when we came into class with music on we fist bumped him! Has good taste in music. :)"

"Dr. Gee introduced a portable microphone that was thrown from one person to another." (Catchbox)

"He wore boxing gloves to our last class. I was a little confused. Maybe it was like we were gonna kick this test's butt? Maybe fight for good grades? I don't know. It was funny anyway."

"Throw the microphone box around when students would answer questions." (Catchbox)

"Playing music before class to wake up the students (also dressing as a boxer to hype us up was pretty cool too)."
